The Letter

Subject Restore the protection the Supreme Court took from trans kids

On June 30, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that states may bar transgender girls from playing on girls' sports teams. Two lower courts had found those laws discriminate, one under the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause and one under Title IX, the federal law against sex discrimination in schools. The Supreme Court reversed them both. Bans in more than two dozen states will now stand.

These laws are not aimed at a wave of athletes. Transgender students are a tiny share of the millions of kids who play school sports, and the cases that reached the court were about two students who just wanted to run with their teammates. What the bans do reach is the message they send to every trans kid in those states, that their school will single them out and shut them out. For young people who already face far higher rates of depression and suicide, that message does real harm.

The court read Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause not to protect these students. Congress can change that. I am asking you to pass the Equality Act, which would write clear protection from discrimination based on gender identity into our civil rights laws, including in schools. A child should be able to play on a team with their friends without the government making an example of them.

I'm calling about the Supreme Court ruling on June 30 letting states ban transgender girls from girls' sports.
Two lower courts found those laws discriminate under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause. The Supreme Court reversed them, and bans in more than two dozen states will stand.
Transgender students are a tiny fraction of school athletes, and these bans send a cruel message to kids who already face high rates of depression and suicide.
Please pass the Equality Act to protect students from discrimination based on gender identity, including in schools.
